They sell all the usual sports equipment including tennis (very popular in the town), bowling, swimming and general athletic clothing and accessories. They have the advantage of having staff who are knowledgeable about most sports so you are going to get good advice, making it worth paying the slight premium for shopping in the town rather than heading to a superstore elsewhere.

However, I must say that the owner was extremely helpful and we all had a nice chat while deciding what to buy. (Incidentally, the net hasn't been worn yet because the recommended repellent worked pretty well!)

While other "sports" stores such as JJB and JD are less about sport and more about providing…read moresuitably garish attire for the unemployable to collect their benefit money in, Greaves is exactly what it says, a sports store. Here you can buy everything from football strips and dartboards, to javelins, golf trollies and punchbags. The selection is massive, and the staff know what they are talking about. A few years back I'd have given them 5, but sadly now their collection of football strips isn't quite as charmingly obscure as it once was. Not long ago you'd find Red Star Belgrade and FC Basle here, but now its mainly British and Champions League European teams. I might start a campaign for them to bring back the Z list.

But your snide positive response sounded serious. Cheer up and stop hoping for the death of your customers Your bowl selection was pretty crap as well. Maybe if I wanted to buy 150 quid on luminescent football boots that resemble a blacklight scene from CSI, I would have been better treated. When you are paying Greaves prices, the derogatory manner comes for free.

Stumbled upon this wee shop around the corner from our flat the other day. On our quest to get…read morehealthy and fit, the boyfriend has gotten back into the game of tennis and squash... and vows to make me play squash, although I'm really hesitant because I'll probably knock myself out on the court (literally). It's a pretty basic shop specializing in squash and tennis equipment as well as apparel. Seeing all the tennis skirts gives me flashbacks of all my tennis lessons, and repeatedly doing the forehand swing over and over with a ball machine with my slave driving tennis instructor when I was a little girl. The sales guy is super friendly and very helpful, and the boyfriend got an awesome deal on a Head squash racket that was originally £135 for £45! Score! The apparel is pretty limited, but it's all the basics you would need to play the game. They offer restringing services as well, from what I could make of the contraption at the front of the shop :-) Bottom line: convenient location, friendly and helpful service, and great deals.

Dropped the racket in and discussed the tension as it was an older racket. Unfortunately my racket cracked during stringing which does happen on occasion. I spoke with the manager dreading being told not much I can do or it was an old racket. Instead he was really fair offering to replace it with one of their ex demo rackets ( many others wouldn't). Having read other forums others have been told it's the chance you take and been left out of pocket. Got a decent racket with only minor cosmetic marks in return. All in left the store feeling really happy with the service and satisfied that they made the best of the worst case scenario. Would recommend them to anyone.
